I'd like to rename {{uservatar}} macro to {{avatar}} (ie deprecate the {{uservatar}} alias) + rename the current "username" parameter to "name":

{{avatar name="XWiki.VincentMassol" /}}

Rationale: * Macros should be as easy to use as possible and avatar is easier and shorter than useravatar (for several reasons shorter, no need to remember if there's an underscore, a dash, etc) * We'll want to use that macro not only for user avatars but also for other potential use cases (group avatars for example). Note that the macro can autodiscover if the avatar reference is a user or a group but in case it isn't possible for other types it's always possible to add a type parameter later on.

Here's my +1

"id" would be probably more correct (but maybe too technical I don't know)

+1 for the {{avatar}} name, +0 for the "name" parameter. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
